Running Multiple files at a time in batch.

New Member

This is my first time posting here so I am sorry if I am not posting in the correct spot.

I am trying to write a batch file. I have a folder with 333 Hotfix Msu Updates in it. Currently I have a command that will check the folder in a loop and update every computer with those hotfixes. What i want to do is while the system is updating I want to run another file simultaneously iexplore -k. Which will display a webpage in kiosk mode while the computer is updating, currently I use the | in command but the problem is this command runs when the computer shuts down and when the hotfixes are done the iexplore -k command won't terminate and the computer won't shutdown. I have already tried using the start command and adding a taskkill command at then end but it still won't work.
